This was a blog about my adventures with Joe. Then, along came Nia. Four years later, along came Stage 3 breast cancer. Fast forward two years, and I'm now caring for my dad while he fights his own cancer battle.

Holiday Elfing

I apologize for the lack of posting in recent days.

We are busy, busy, busy 'round these parts, though.

Today, I'm busy putting finishing touches on some work for a January event, while simultaneously busting some butt on a pair of March events. (For those who don't know me that well, this is totally un-cancer related. This is my other identity. The work-from-home/pay-the-bills part.) I'm also running to and from doctor appointments -- this week I have 7 such appointments (totally cancer remission-related).

Meanwhile, in the back corner of the house, Nia & Joe are busy getting Nia well. She came down with a stomach virus in the wee hours this morning. At press time her current status is "in pjs, in bed, listening to Ragweed, not puking." Joe did me a solid YouOweMe and stayed home to be with her so I could focus on the aforementioned touches-finishing and butt-busting.

Later, we'll be back to holiday elf-ing. You know, the scurry-ing and scuttle-ing that comes from a homemade holiday. (At least, in part.)

Most importantly, we're staying warm. Cozy. And busy.

Hope you all are doing well, too -- in your corners of the world, necks of the woods, and so forth -- with your own year-end scuttle-ing.
